we have food at home.
~ingredients:
- 2 lb chicken thighs (cubed)
- marinade:
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tbsp shaoxing wine
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp white pepper
- 1 tbsp ginger (grated)
- 4 leaves of napa cabbage (2 inch squares)
- 3 green onion (2 inch pieces)
- 5 slices ginger
- 8 shiitake mushrooms (rehydrated and sliced)
- 1/4 cup dried wood ear mushrooms (rehydrated)
- 1/2 cup dried tofu stick (rehydrated)
- 1 tbsp shaoxing wine
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp chicken bouillon
~instructions:
- Rehydrate the shiitake mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, and tofu stick in warm water for 2 hours (in separate bowls). Make sure you keep the water from the shiitake mushrooms. The other water can be discarded.
- Marinate the chicken thighs with the marinade ingredients listed above.
- Slice the shiitake mushrooms, and add it into the chicken, along with the wood ear mushrooms, and tofu sticks. Mix well.
- Set aside and marinate for minimum of 2 hours.
- Add 1 tbsp shaoxing wine, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tsp chicken bouillon to the mushroom water. Mix and set aside.
- In a pot, add in a layer of napa cabbage, followed by the green onion and ginger.
- Add in the chicken and mushroom mixture in an even layer.
- Pour the mushroom water mixture into the pot.
- Turn on the fire to a medium-high heat and cover. Cook for 20-25 minutes. Check on it occasionally.
- Once the chicken is cooked, turn off the heat.
- Serve with rice (I like to also have some chili crunch sauce on the side). Enjoy!
